Beaver Creek has been hosting the national championship race
for the last 4 years, this was the biggest Xterra of the 4 I am doing this season
with many of the fast Xterra pros. The
whole family decided to come up for this one.
We camped the night before overlooking Beaver Creek, from the north
west. Race start was late and included a
trip to the T2 area to drop shoes, as T1 was by the lake. There was more guys at this race than I had
anticipated, should be a fun race. The
swim went well I came out of the water first, with two others right
behind. As we headed up the first 5 miles
and 2k’ of climbing, I lost the lead quick to some fast bikers. Loosing even more time on the descents. Once into the run I even had a few females in
front of me. The run was of course up
the mt which made things rather difficult.
It was a tough course, but with beautiful views and trails. At the end of the day I fell back all the way
to 14th in the pro field, but had fun.
